The Cube 660-100 laser from Coherent delivers 100mW of CW output at 660nm, making it the highest output power red diode laser module available from the company.
Cube lasers are based on a high power, single emitter diode laser, and integrate collimating and beam shaping optics, drive and control electronics, and TEC temperature stabilisation to yield a CDRH compliant module for both OEM and laboratory use.
This Cube laser is primarily intended for bio-imaging applications, where its higher power will enable improved signal-to-noise ratio or higher throughput.
The Cube 660-100 offers built-in capabilities for analogue modulation with a bandwidth of 350kHz, and digital modulation with a bandwidth of 150MHz.
It also features high quality output, with a TEM00 beam (M<1.5) and low noise (<0.2 per cent rms from 20Hz to 10MHz).
System integration of the Cube laser is facilitated with USB, RS-232 and analogue signal I/O covering all status aspects of laser operation, including interlock, laser enabled, service output and internal power meter.
The conductively-cooled Cube laser measures 100 x 40 x 40mm (3.9 x 1.6 x 1.6in).
